Ah, a familiar face! A griffin?

I think so. I doodled it on a post it note years ago while on the phone, but quite liked the pic so I kept the jpeg around. They also feature in the WIP.

Congratulations and well done you, and I’m so happy that this is happening for you 🙂 I have only read Jessica’s story in Stories For Homes – where it really stood out for…[Read more]
